Wonderful environment, disappointing pay
Pros
Getting to work within breath-taking Boynton Canyon was incredible. Being able to regularly take in the natural beauty really helped me appreciate my job. The staff at Enchantment are naturally friendly, helpful, and hard-working. From entry-level to corporate level, I had many positive experiences with everyone associated with the resort. I appreciated the free staff lunches as well. It was one less thing to think about and prepare before coming to work. The resort is a bit "off the beaten path", a minimum 30 minute round trip drive to the nearest restaurant.
Cons
The pay was very disappointing and ultimately made me leave my position. I worked my butt off through the chaos of COVID and scored well on performance reviews, yet my annual raise was a measly $0.15 and hour. Although any raise should be appreciated and valued, this was a laughable amount based on how much work I put into this job. At Enchantment, don't expect compensation to be monetarily competitive. You are "compensated" by getting to work in one of the most breath-taking places in the world with a friendly team at your side. This job can also be extremely stressful and busy at times. I sometimes found it difficult to offer guests my full attention and services. Often, I had to "triage" multiple guest needs, leaving some guests unattended for far too long. During the spring and fall, busy season is in full swing and it felt understaffed at times.
